My Cruel Ways

I closed my eyes, a blind and cold-hearted fool
 Last night I lost my mind and came so close to losing you
 So close to losing you
 Misread your smile, misunderstood your tears
 Ignored the pleading voice and every sigh
 Even your words of love I would not listen
 It's a lesson I'll never forget
 No communication gave rise to fear
 Tell me, who's to blame?
 What I really meant to tell you, I panicked
 'Cause I would die if something happened to you
 I'd die if something would
 But I'm so spoilt by your patience and devotion
 That only now I recognize some of my cruel ways
 Some of my cruel ways
 Maybe it's good, maybe it was meant to be
 There was no other way you could get through (you could get through)
 Now it's my turn to get through to you baby
 It's a lesson I'll never forget
 No communication gave rise to fear
 Tell me, who's to blame?
 What I really meant to tell you, I need you (I need you)
 And I would die if something happened to you (if something happened to you)
 I'd die if something would
 What I really meant to tell you, I love you
 And I would die if something happened to you (if something happened to you)
 I'd die if something would

 What I tried to tell you baby, what I tried to tell you darling
 Could not live without you honey, would not live without you, no
 If only you were with me baby, if only you were with me darling
 'Cause I've been waiting for you honey, I've been waiting for you
 Well, I tried to tell you
